Always do #2 personally, and then build up to the pace instead of fast starts and stops. I usually do active recovery between anyway so I am already moving as I near the next interval.

I think it depends what you're training for to some extent. If you're an 800m runner or miler doing 200's, standing start probably makes sense. Since I train primarily for road races in the 5k to 26.2 mile range, I pretty much alwasy do a rolling start--most of my workouts are one continuous run including warmup, cooldown and recovery jogs.
